Healthcare IT firm McKesson unveiled the latest version of its Horizon Cardiology cardiovascular information system (CVIS) at last week's RSNA meeting in Chicago.
Version 12.1 features a Web-based charge manager module that automatically captures charges directly from the procedural documentation, reducing process costs and the number of manual, paper-based steps required, said the Atlanta-based firm. The system instantaneously generates a charge audit workflow, simultaneously displays charges and reports on the same screen, and electronically supports technical and professional interfaces.
The new software also features a fractional flow reserve (FFR) module, removing the need for dedicated FFR acquisition devices. Other enhancements include support for DICOM structured reporting standards for echocardiography and vascular procedures, and single-click integration with visualization tools.
The update also offers full congenital hemodynamic support including pressures, samples, age-based calculations, and documentation, the company said.
